Tourism - quality services

Learner’s knowledge and understanding of the development of Glasgow (and regeneration in particular) will make them more aware of the breadth and depth of information available and of the needs and wants of tourists visiting the city centre. They will provide a service to evaluate the product as customers, on behalf of the open top bus company (and agreed with company), collating and feeding back their findings to the business managers.
